HuldaPuff puff is a delicious, popular African Snack, side dish, and street food. It is crunchy on the surface and soft inside. I remember back home, we used to take this street food as our breakfast with corn porridge or beans stew. Children, as well as adults, love this snack, it is very addictive.
This snack is quick and easy to make with just a few ingredients. When the ingredients are mixed, you get a dough as a result. The dough can be placed to rest for at least one hour. The longer it rests, the longer it rises. After that, the dough can be fried by taking a good quantity of dough in the palm of your hand. Then using your thumb and forefinger, the dough is cut and dropped in very hot oil.

- Fry the dough by plucking out small balls with your fingers and putting them gently into the oil (don't overcrowd the pot with the dough balls). Let them cook for a few minutes by stirring from time to time.
